BBC Breakfast's Nina Warhurst replaced by Luxmy Gopal as star missing from show

Piers Morgan has taken another savage swipe at his former breakfast telly rival Dan Walker ahead of the launch of his brand-new TalkTV show.The pair have been arguing publicly from as far back as 2017.Piers, 57, regularly tried to wind up Dan, 45, when he was host of Good Morning Britain by claiming the ITV morning show was closing the ratings gaps on BBC Breakfast.Father-of-four Piers left GMB in March 2021 and Dan has since announced that he'll be leaving BBC Breakfast later this year to join Channel 5 News. However, it appears that Piers still has plenty to say when it comes to Strictly Come Dancing star Dan changing jobs.

ITV's The Chase where he took a swipe at brain box Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha. The 45-year-old outgoing BBC Breakfast host starred on the popular ITV game show on Saturday where he attempted to win a cash prize for charity. As reported by the Mirror, he appeared on the show alongside Scottish politician Ruth Davison, reality star Ferne McCann, and the musician Mark King.

DAN Walker shocked The Chase viewers with a swipe at Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha. Saturday night's instalment saw the presenter take part in a special celebrity version of the ITV show alongside politician Ruth Davidson, former Towie star Ferne McCann, and musician Mark King.

BBC Breakfast on Sunday (April 17), with her co-star notably absent from the BBC studios.Regular viewers of the news programme will know that the show is usually fronted by two anchors, with the likes of Jon Kay, Roger Johnson, Victoria Derbyshire or Katherine Downes appearing alongside a colleague.The Sunday edition of the programme doesn't normally see the main anchors, Naga Munchetty, Charlie Stayt or Sally Nugent take their place on the sofa.However, as viewers tuned in on Easter Sunday (April 17), they were somewhat perplexed to see the sofa looking emptier than usual. Business presenter and stand-in presenter, Nina Warhurst, 41, sat alone on the sofa as she delivered the day's news, including the latest on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's appearance in The Hague.

Dan Walker took a savage swipe at ITV Chaser Paul Sinha's outfit on a celebrity edition of The Chase.The BBC Breakfast presenter starred in a star-studded episode of The Chase last May alongside reality star Ferne McCann, Scottish former MP Ruth Davison and Level 42 musician Mark King.However, it wasn't long before Dan decided to have a pop at TV quizzer Paul Sinha - after spotting the Chaser's bold white blazer in the studio.Former Strictly star proceeded to mock Paul's glam white tuxedo at the end of Mark King's cash-builder round, where he racked up £4,000.Paul offered the musician a high offer of £60,000 and a low of £1,000 before host Bradley Walsh turned to Dan and asked him what he thought Mark should do.Bradley asked him: "Dan, what do you say?", to which Dan cheekily said: "Don't get sucked in by the man in the white tuxedo."Paul saw the funny side of the dig, because he could be seen smirking at the quip when the camera turned to him.Dan then took another shot at Paul when he told Mark: "Your jacket's much better, go four grand."When it came to Dan's round, he got off to a flying start and banked a whopping £8,000 in his cash-builder, demonstrating a wealth of general knowledge.Things heated up when he decided to take a major risk after Chaser Paul Sinha put a high offer of £104,000 on the table.Dan bravely decided to accept the offer, but he was beaten by a question about the 2019 Oscars, which saw him accidentally click the wrong answer.The huge button-error proved to be his un-doing, because it meant he was Chased down and defeated.Dan turned to his teammates and said: "Sorry, gang."The rest of his team had already made it back to the panel for the Final Chase.The question read: "In 2019, which Marvel film

BBC BREAKFAST viewers were left shocked as Carol Kirkwood AND Naga Munchetty were mysteriously missing on Friday's episode. This week Charlie Stayt was joined by Rachel Burden once again as Naga whereabouts are still unknown.

BBC Breakfast weather presenter Carol Kirkwood was missing from the iconic morning programme on Friday (April 15), just days after confirming she had landed a 'new job'.With hosts Charlie Stayt and Rachel Burden on the red sofa, Carol wasn't the only one missing from the show, as Naga Munchetty has also been taking a break for the Easter holidays.Dan Walker - who sensationally quit the BBC earlier this month in favour of a move to Channel 5 - has also been missing for the last two weeks, replaced by Jon Kay for his usual Monday to Wednesday stint.Carol was instead replaced by Sarah Keith-Lucas, who presented the meteorological report in her absence.She is one of several regular weather presenters, along with Matt Taylor and Owain Wyn Evans.But Sarah is rarely seen on air, last appearing on March 24. Fans were loving seeing her on the show, and took to Twitter to share their thoughts.One wrote: "Good morning Sarah you always do the weather with a smile xxx", as someone else chimed in: "Morning, seeing you this morning was beautiful enough Sarah!""Hey Sarah good morning to you looking very summery in your yellow dress.

BBC Breakfast host Charlie Stayt found himself rather upset during a music festival row in the studio on Monday.Hosting the programme alongside his temporary co-presenter Rachel Burden - with Naga Munchetty absent once again - Charlie was forced to turn his attention to the realm of the music fest in a rather unexpected segment.The pair were discussing the relocation of various moving sculptures from Nevada's Blackrock Desert Burning Man festival to the genteel estate of Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.The estate will be putting the incredible artworks on display for all to see in praise of the arts and culture festival thousands of miles away.Rachel began the segment by teasing Charlie: "Now, if you don’t think you’re gonna make it to the Burning Man festival in Nevada this year...

BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker has revealed he has been given life advice by legendary former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.Dan, 45, has hosted BBC Breakfast since 2016, but last week announced he's joining 5 News, as a replacement Sian Williams.The presenter said Sir Alex, 80, told him to embrace the “next ­challenge” when they met up at the Grand National at Aintree last week, ahead of Dan taking up his Channel 5 role.He told The Mirror: “I’ve had a long chat with Sir Alex Ferguson. It’s the first time I’ve seen him for a while and he looks very well.“He’s given me career advice, which was lovely.

BBC Breakfast presenter Rachel Burden has been making waves on the morning programme ever since she replaced Naga Munchetty for the first time.The star has been sitting alongside regular host Charlie Stayt for the past few weeks - leaving fans baffled as to why Naga is absent, especially after her social media silence.It comes amid numerous shake-ups on the red sofa, with Dan Walker recently announcing his intention to quit the programme for a job at rival network Channel 5.Rachel, however, hasn’t avoided scrutiny on the programme, and came under fire for halting a harrowing interview on air for a rather odd reason.Rachel was chatting to former male model Norman Scott about his past relationship with Liberal MP Jeremy Thorpe, which ended in a badly planned conspiracy by the politician to murder his lover.82-year-old Norman bravely opened up on the assassination plot against him - during which Rachel randomly interrupted to announce the time.She said: "At this point, and it seems like a strange point to say this pause, we just need to tell you the time. It's 8.59 and you're watching BBC Breakfast."We just need to allow that to happen so we can carry on with the story now."But what about Rachel’s life away from the cameras? Daily Star takes a look.In June last year, Rachel found herself suffering a horror injury after a game of football gone wrong.The star turned to Instagram to share a snap of her right ankle encased in a heavy duty black boot strapped with velcro, explaining that she had managed to chip some of the bone away with her injury.She told fans: “Well this is me for the next 6 weeks.

BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty was nowhere to be seen this week, after being replaced by stand-in host Rachel Burden.Rachel could be seen alongside regular presenter Charlie Stayt on the red sofa on Thursday (April 14), while Naga has been conspicuously absent from the show for more than a week.Last week, Rachel was in line to take Naga's place, with the star once again missing.So far she hasn't spoken out about her absence, with her last Twitter post being to congratulate her BBC co-star on his new job as Political Editor.Chris Mason was announced as the formal replacement for Laura Kuenssberg yesterday. It comes just weeks after her co-star Dan Walker quit the show for good in favour of a new job with rival network Channel 5, announcing: "Hello, Dan Walker here.

Dan Walker has admitted to “upsetting” his co-host Sally Nugent after the newsreader announced he was leaving BBC Breakfast.Fans of the popular BBC morning show were left heartbroken last week after the TV star confirmed he was moving over the Channel 5 News in the next few weeks where he will take over from Siam William in the news slot.The news of the 45-year-old broadcaster comes just months after his former colleague Louise Minchin, 53, left the show back in September.Now, as viewers prepare to big farewell to the dad-of-three, he has opened up about how one person in particular was slightly shaken by the news of his departure from Breakfast.After the long-standing presenter left the show back in September, former sports presenter Sally took over the reigns as Dan’s new co-star, and it’s clear to see the pair grew close over the months they worked together.But as the countdown to his final show grow ever closer, the BBC veteran admitted that his 50-year-old co-star was heartbroken when he shared the news.When talking to the Mirror, the doting dad confessed that the reaction to his decision to leave the broadcast service wasn’t always congratulatory.He told the publication: “It’s been lovely, apart from [co-host-] Sally [Nugent], who is a bit upset.”The broadcaster was also quizzed about who could potentially replace him on the iconic red sofa, but Dan confessed he has not been made aware of any potential replacements.When asked who might take over on presenting alongside the brunette beauty on the morning show, he added: “I have no idea.

Dan Walker will soon bid farewell to his regular slot on the BBC Breakfast sofa - a role he has held since 2016.The news of his departure comes just months after Louise Minchin, 53, quit the news programme in September.The 45-year-old broadcaster has opened up about his exit in a new interview.The dad-of-three is set to leave the BBC for Channel 5 where he will replace Sian Williams on the network's daily news slot.But Dan has admitted that one person, in particular, was left slightly taken aback by the news of his exit from Breakfast.Sally Nugent, 50, a former sports presenter, has since taken the reins and began fronting the show earlier this year.The BBC Breakfast veteran admitted that his co-star was upset about the news of his departure.When asked what the reaction has been to his decision, Dan said: “It’s been lovely, apart from [co-host] Sally [Nugent], who is a bit upset.”The broadcaster was also quizzed on who could potentially replace him on the show.Dan revealed that he has not been made aware of who would be taking his place.Asked who might take over, Dan added to The Mirror: “I have no idea.

BBC Breakfast hosts Sally Nugent and Jon Kay were left outraged as weather presenter Carol Kirkwood landed herself a new job.The presenters were hosting from the studio on Wednesday (April 13), with Carol armed with a clicker and green screen to give the meteorological report for the week ahead.But things quickly turned sour as Jon and Sally joined the Morning Live studio via video link to see what was coming up in the programme at 9:15am.During the link-up, Sally announced: "Let's find out what they have for us this morning with Kym [Marsh] and Gethin [Jones]. Morning guys!"The pair then explained what lay ahead, including discussions of the energy crisis and sinusitis symptom management.Kym then revealed: "We could be in for a treat with the weather this Bank Holiday, fingers crossed! Legendary weather presenter Carol Kirkwood tells us why temperatures are set to be hotter than Majorca, thanks to some Saharan gusts!"But Sally and Jon clearly weren't chuffed to see their beloved co-star appearing on another programme, as Sally snapped: "Hands off Carol Kirkwood, she's ours! What's she doing on Morning Live?"Jon interjected: "She's moonlighting! Carol! We'll hear from Carol in a few minutes with the weather..."Even her co-star Dan Walker chimed in on Twitter, sharing a sweet snap of Carol with the caption: "Good morning Carol.

BBC Breakfast descended into chaos on Wednesday (April 13) as Nina Warhurst 'disappeared' from the screen after nearly being run over by a trolley.Business correspondent Nina was reporting on the rising inflation rates from a busy warehouse in Birmingham - but nothing could have prepared her as she was almost swept off her feet by a passing worker, quite literally.With Jon Kay and Sally Nugent firmly on solid ground on the red sofa, they turned to Nina for the business news of the day - and it wasn't looking good.But as Nina concluded: "As we said earlier, the predictions from the Bank of England is that inflation will go even higher, higher than eight percent, in the coming months."They will potentially use interest rates in the meantime to bring it down."She added: "We get the latest figures at seven o'clock, as I said - expect it to go higher than six point seven percent. We'll be back with you then."In the background as Nina prepared to deliver her parting words to camera, a group of male workers could be seen chatting as one attempted to steer a pallet truck forward - right to where Nina was standing.They'd been waiting patiently for a few minutes while she chatted, but they seemed to sense the segment was over as she went to move out of the way, but not before showing herself on the TV screen behind them in a cheeky echo of BBC Breakfast.She said: "In the meantime, we'll probably just chill out and watch a bit of telly.

BBC Breakfast host Sally Nugent was forced to apologise on-air after her co-presenter Jon Kay admitted he almost fell asleep while presenting alongside her.The pair were presenting the morning programme on Tuesday (April 12), and discussing a recent disabled dog walk which saw all breeds and varieties of dogs with disabilities gather together.And appearing on the show was Pumpkin, a paralysed pooch who uses a wheelchair to get around.But Jon was quick to establish that he had no idea Pumpkin and her owner Tammy were set to appear on the show, explaining: "I didn't realise you were coming in this morning, and I saw you and Pumpkin going across the piazza there in front of the studios yesterday evening, and I saw her walking across."It didn't take long, however, for the sweet pup to fall asleep in her mum's arms, exhausted from the experience of being on the telly.In between gushing over how adorable Pumpkin was, Sally said: "She's just so relaxed, it's so cute! I think that's the first time anyone has fallen asleep on the sofa!"But Jon jumped in to correct her, as he interjected: "I don't know, I was close at about five past six this morning, Sal."A giggling Sally replied: "Sorry about that!"Tammy explained: "Normally she's very vocal!"But Sally reassured her: "She's just very relaxed. She's a natural, that's what it is!"Jon couldn't help wondering if Pumpkin's wheelchair is specially made for her, as Tammy explained: "This one isn't, this one is one that we bought from a company called Walking Pets."However, when she was so tiny, we couldn't get a wheelchair for her.

Carol Kirkwood could soon be set to replace her co-star Dan Walker on BBC Breakfast, as fans have predicted a major shake-up after he quit the show for Channel 5.Dan has most often been replaced by Jon Kay on the show, who sits alongside his usual co-host Sally Nugent when Dan is absent - but a major shake-up could be in store, and nothing is guaranteed.And some fans want to see a weather presenter take up a more permanent presenting role on the morning programme.Dan announced he was leaving Breakfast for good earlier this month, revealing: "Hello, Dan Walker here. I have a little bit of news for you.
